German. English nnd Italian motor vehMcs and modely r of bodies will be held In New York In I January. The exhibition Is to be on the jj lines of the- Paris salon and is planned ' to be an nrtistlc and roclal as well as an ' I industrial triumph. Already all the for-" for-" agn types of the automobiles that have 3 become popular in this country have K been secured for exhibition, while many ii of the exhibits at the French salon, j which takes place a few weeks earlier, J will be shipped' to the American salon. This move, which has been decided J upon by the Importers' Automobile sn-if sn-if lon,incorporatc-d under the laws of New York State, and Including many of the ! prlncpal importers of foreign carV In Anicilca, will Insure two automobile J fhov.s In place of one- In New York City during the winter. The two will be f held simultaneously, but without oppo-1 oppo-1 Hi Ion or friction. In Madison Square i 8 Garden will be a distinctly American , I s-hoiv with only products of American S factories displayed. Tn Hccaldi Square hall will be the salon with all' that its S title Implies, a select and beautiful ex 1 tltlon In an environment In keeping with 1, the character of the finest and costliest n automobile models In the world. The growth of the- automobile Indue-j Indue-j try In America in both Import and mnn-i mnn-i ufacturing branches has- reached pro- portions; that demand space for display I far greater than any exhibition hall In 1 Now York or any, other city In the i J' rnited States can offer. That more room 5 van iiHi;ssary was apparent at the last ) tuo showii In the Garden; that of last I J year particularly having been to con-, con-, jj gested that the exhibiting Importers , I were enabled, to place on view less than "' one-half of the models brought from w Europe by them for the purpoM. It was this condition that induced the importers to form -a corporation and to I engage a. hall with floor space even j greater than that of Madison Square I ua reran. j.nc omcers or the salon con- ) nlst of C. It. Mabley, president; E. T. j I Birdsall, vice-president; E. It. Hollan- i der, treasurer, and S. B. Bowman, aec- 1 tj retary, With J. II. Gerrle as show man- t agcr. On the executive committee are I E, T. Kimball, F. A. La Roche, E. B. i j Gallaher and J. S. Josephs. I 'ji The Importers salon wlll.be held, in 1 , Herald Square hall from January 11 to ( ,.21, inclusive, and will be conducted on as high a plane as the Horse show, i which.it Is expected to rival as u so- . cicty event. This arrangement of dou- 1 , i blc shows promises to be- a happy one ' J a)l around. The American exhibitors I J will gain more space in the Garden, of , 5 which they stood badly in need, while , 5 , the importers will have sufficient room 'j . to make the displays that the high char- i II actor of their cars warrantB.
